The Blurred Line Between Games and Simulation
It’s a game – no, it’s a simulation – wait, you’re both right! With the advent of GPUs, the effects of Moore’s law, and the subsequent advances in graphics and database programming, what used to be a nice fat black line between games and “serious” simulation/Visualization programs has blurred to a very thin gray line. It is the democratization of Viz/Sim – VolksSim. We’ll discuss the developments of games and how they rival “professional” simulation/Visualization programs, and where they don’t.
